Kwana Jackson Author

A native New Yorker, Kwana Jackson had two dreams: 1. to be a fashion designer, and 2. to be a writer. She spent ten years designing for various fashion houses, but after having twins and juggling both them and fashion, Kwana took the leap of faith and decided to pursue her other dream of being a writer. Since then she's won RWA NYC's Golden Apple Author of the Year Award and is a daily advocate for #WeNeedDiverseRomance. She currently lives in a suburb of New York with her husband, their twins, and a precocious terrier named Jack that keeps her on her toes.
